Jude Bellingham is viewed as a ‘bonus’ signing for Manchester United in the next transfer window, rather than a target whose acquisition could have an impact on the club’s other deals.

That’s according to Sky Sports, who claim that it could be a busy summer at Old Trafford as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to close the significant gap to Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.

United are expected to make moves for a number of top targets this summer in order to give Solskjaer the best chance of making the Red Devils title challengers once more, but their business won’t be significantly affected by their pursuit of Birmingham City starlet Bellingham.

The teenager has been nothing short of sensational in the Championship this term, and it’s form that has inevitably attracted interest from elsewhere.

Due to turn 17 this summer, Bellingham is tipped to have a big future in the game, and United’s long-term plan for him would reflect his potential.

James Cooper, the Manchester reporter for Sky, explained that other departments are being spotlighted by the club too.

“I’d certainly expect more than one new face to come through the doors at Old Trafford, though, of course, in a sense Bruno Fernandes was a summer signing brought forward to January and what an impact he’s made,” Cooper told Sky Sports.

“Manchester United are vying to bring in 16-year-old Jude Bellingham from Birmingham City but although he’d be part of the first-team squad if he joined, I get the sense that his capture would be something of a bonus and wouldn’t affect other targets.

“As I’ve already said, I think the centre-back position is one that will need strengthening along with the right-wing spot and any further arrivals will depend on the future of Paul Pogba who would need to be replaced if he were to leave Manchester United.”
